The camera faded in the front room of the home of Amanda Brooks, there was a stack of magazines on a bookshelf, a couch, and a big screen television. The only thing she enjoyed that her ex had gotten her. There camera moved foward and just to the right was a small hallway and an open door which is obviously the blonde brits bathroom. She stared at herself in a mirror playing with her hair. She was wearing a tight pair of jeans and a white halter top with black heels.
Amanda: Up or down? Up? Down?
She moved her hair in both directions as she said them.
Amanda: Up? Down?
She let out a sigh and placed her elbows on the sink. She used her hands to cradle her chin as she studied her face in the mirror.
Amanda: I can't believe it. 'ere I am nervous as a sinner in church. 'e asked me not the other way around.
She stood up and turned to the side, staring at her stomach in the reflection. She placed her hand on it and sucked in.
Amanda: I look pregnant... 'ow can this be attractive?
She shook her head and then turned so she was looking into her own eyes.
Amanda: Is it too late to cancel? Yes... But I... You wanted 'im to ask you. Yes I did, but... Just grow a spine will you?
She groaned and looked at the floor.
Amanda: Why did I set myself up for this?
That's when she heard the doorbell. She gave herself one more look in the mirror. She sighed before going for the door. She unlocked it and opened it, continuing to look down.
Amanda: 'ello luv.
Scally: Hi... Uh... Um... Amanda... How are you tonight?
That is when she looked up and saw what he was wearing. He looked like he was heading to a prom. A blue tuxedo complete with a blue rose in it's pocket. She looked at him and covered her mouth with her hands, but her eyes showed the mixture of joy and laughter she was trying to hide. She attempted to talk through giggles.
Amanda: Fine... 'un... What.. Are we... Doing?
Aj smiled at her.
Scally: That is a suprise.
She smiled as she followed him to his car.
TBC: Scally

The two enter AJ’s car it was a nice blue car, nothing too flash, but it was something that you wouldn’t get laughed at for. The Aussie opened the door for his date who nodded in appreciation; he shut the door as she sat down. AJ then entered the car and both buckled up. AJ started the car and they drove off.
Amanda: So where are we going luv?
AJ: Ah here we are.
Just as AJ says this, the car pulls into a McDonalds. Amanda eyes wide open in shock, are they really going on a date to Maccas.
Amanda: Are you serious?
AJ: Oh yeh, they have a special on Quarter Pounders.
Amanda shakes her head, but before she could say anything else Scally turns the car around and drives out the exit, showing a wide smirk.
AJ: I’m only kidding; I have got this nice restaurant booked up here.
Amanda punched AJ in the arm with a bit of laughter coming out, she was fooled.
Amanda: You got me hun.
After a few more minutes of driving the car pulls up to a fancy and nice looking restaurant. The car pulls up and AJ hops out, as to does Amanda. She looks around at the nice looking place as they enter the building. The two come to the maître Dee.
AJ: Table for two under Scally.
The woman looks at her list and nods.
Woman: Certainly right this way.
The two follow her past the main dinning room and up to the third floor. Where the employee opens the door to a room with a nicely decorated table, there is nobody else around, Scally has booked a private dining area. The employee pulls out the chair for Amanda has she sits down as to AJ. A menu is placed at each end of the table as to a drinks list.
Woman: Ok, when you want to order press that buzzer and someone will come up. A specials board is situated behind the gentleman.
AJ: Thank you very much.
Woman: Have a lovely evening.
With that the employee leaves, causing Amanda to look around a bit.
Amanda: Where is everyone?
AJ: I got us a private dining area, it is just us.
AJ smiled a bit, as to Amanda.
AJ: Well do you want to look at something to drink; I will get a mineral water.
AJ then waited as his date looked at the drinks list.

She looked over the drinks on the menu most of them were wines, that were way before her time, she wasn't the wine type of girl she liked her Jack. She smiled at Aj.
Amanda: I think I'll go with the mineral water as well luv.
She began to twirl her hair in her fingers. She was still nervous, but she had to give herself credit for not running straight into the ladies room. This was the first real date she had ever been on. She stared at Aj more, smiling and blushing a little.
TBC: Scally

AJ knew this place was expensive but he had money and wanted this date to be amazing.
AJ: Pick anything you see, should we start with entrees? Or skip that and have mains?
Amanda looked at the menu she saw the prices and was a little uneasy but Scally was smiling and it looked like he was willing to pay but she still was unsure about the prices, Scally could tell this.
AJ: Look I just wanted this date to be amazing ok, you deserve something amazing. I’m not sure if I told you this earlier, but Amanda you look…umm…ughh…heh…beautiful tonight.
AJ took a deep breath, he did pause and stutter a bit but he got through it a fair bit better than before any tips or confidence boosters. Amanda smiled at the compliment before they both looked at the menu.

She used the menu to hide her face a little. She just now felt the heat from her blushing at him. She spoke through the menu.
Amanda: Thanks 'un... You look good yourself.
That's when she spotted what sounded good to her, but there was something she want to ask first.
Amanda: So 'ow did you find this place? I mean it's beautiful.
She twirled her hair in her fingers a little before saying what she wanted.
Amanda: I'll take the... Um... A grilled cesaer salad. And the water luv.
Aj pressed the buzzer and made their order. A voice came from the other end and told them it'd be out shortly.
TBC: Scally
(SO SORRY I couldn't remember what I had here.)

AJ smirked a bit, he didn’t really find this place in a romantic or fancy, but he decided to tell the truth.
AJ: Well basically, I looked up restaurants in Boston on Google and saw this place and when I saw it had private dining I thought it was great.
Amanda laughed a little a how AJ found the place, as Scally shrugged his shoulders. At this moment a waiter walked in.
Waiter: Excuse me two mineral waters.
AJ: Thank you.
The man placed one glass at AJ’s end and another Amanda’s.
Waiter: Your meals will be ready shortly.
AJ: Thank you.
With that the waiter left leaving the two alone again.
AJ: Let’s talk a little about ourselves, since we didn’t do that too much at the bar. Alright, I am from Newcastle, Australia which is about 150 kilometres north of Sydney. I enjoy Cricket and Rugby league and I was a big wrestling fan growing up. How about you, how was your childhood?
AJ took a sip of the mineral water as he waited.
TBC Amanda, its fine I forgot as well, lol.

Aj had just asked the impossible question it was something she hated to discus. She used her hand to cover her quivering lip as she thought about it. She took a deep breath and decided to tell him a little about it.
Amanda: Well.. I grew up in Manchester. My mother and father divorced when I was really little and I lived with 'im. 'e was an alcoholic and abusive...
"In more ways than one." She though to herself. She finished with another half truth.
Amanda: Some of my skills I learned from 'im. That's about as positive as I can say it. So what's it like in...
She rushed the change the subject and to remember the name of her date's hometown. It mixed so well with her past that it about came a distant memory when she pushed it out.
Amanda: Newcastle? That is what you said right?
She forced a smile as she awaited his answer. The thought of her past made her a little upset, but she wouldn't let it ruin this evening.
TBC: scally

AJ nodded, he understood that it was hard for Amanda to talk about that past, so he decided to talk about his, it was a lot happier than his dates and it would be better than hers.
AJ: Newcastle is a former coal mining town, and then became a steel working town before BHP Billiton closed it down. It is a coastal town and has a fair few beaches and a lot of people like to go there in the summer. It doesn’t snow, but we had a very bad storm a few years ago, I’m not sure if you heard about. It can get quite hot in the summer, thus why the beaches are popular. It is not a big shopping area like Melbourne, but it had the shops I liked. There is a restaurant district which is ok I guess. We love sport and we have a local soccer and football or Rugby league team. The League team is more popular than the soccer at the moment though.
AJ took another sip of his water before going on.
AJ: Anyway, since you don’t want to talk about your home life, what about your interests other than wrestling of course.
AJ smiled and waited, he was interested in what his date had to say.
TBC Amanda, note this is the last post I did for this before the hack, so it will be longer next time.

That subject made her smile, but it was another topic no one knew. She had enough trust in Aj to talk about this part, and she lit up when she started.
Amanda: Singing is one... I also like animals... Dogs mostly. I 'ave two back at my aunt's. Mistie and Samson, but I would love to open up a safe haven for strays.
She stopped and thought about the numbers of stray dogs in England alone.
Amanda: Did you know that there are over twelve thousand strays in England... We are just under American in that aspect.
She was hoping that didn't bore him to tears. She really did love animals and it made here feel bad to read about them getting hurt or abandoned. She thought about her dogs back home, if she couldn't even call it that anymore.

AJ smiled that Amanda took an interest in something charitable. He then saw she was a bit sad, most likely about missing her dogs, he sensed and tried to get away a bit from the sad subject.
AJ: Singing aye? I bet you have a great singing voice maybe after the meals and we have eaten I could hear it?
AJ smiled as he took a sip from his water as Amanda blushed slightly.
AJ: So, is there anywhere in the world you would love to visit?
AJ waited for a response.
TBC Amanda, in case you read this first before PM, you can have the meals brought and you can make up something for my meal.

She blushed and fanned herself as the food came. Her eyes got wide as she saw her salad. The bowl it was in was full and on a trey seperate were all the things she could put on it. Her mouth dropped. There was cherry tomatoes, four different kinds of dressing, four different types of cheese, and a bowl full of stripped grilled chicken. And tossed a few of the cherry tomatoes, all four cheeses, and a some ranch dressing in her salad. The look on Aj's face was priceless as well. His steak which was suppose to be a twelve ounce one was about as big as his head, but it also came with a baked potato which was the size of his hand. The waiter checked to see if there was anything else they needed and left. Amanda took a fork full of her salad into her mouth and licked her lips as she swallowed it. The tomatoes were extremely juicy, the cheese was freshly grated, and the chicken melted in her mouth. Aj smiled at her before taking a small piece of steak into his mouth.
Amanda: Good choice luv. I mean most places this pricey you get half a lemon and a bite of chicken.
She giggled as she watch him chew his food while holding up a finger to say hold that thought.
Amanda: And as far as 'earing me sing... We got to go somewhere for that... But if I do it so do you.
She smiled and winked at him before returning to her food.

Scally stopped mid chew in what Amanda said, she would sing if he did. For all he knows Amanda could be amazing, but Scally was not. He finished chewing before looking up to his date that was eating her salad.
AJ: You serious?
Amanda looks up, giggles and nods.
AJ: But I suck.
Amanda giggles a bit more before enjoying her meal.
AJ: Do we have to go to like a karaoke bar or can we do it privately where only you can hear it?
AJ hoped his date would pick the later as he went and ate more of his steak and started the potato. After a while both finished their meals and drinks.
AJ: That was nice, how was yours?
Amanda: Bloody beautiful, nice pick.
The Brit smiled slightly as to AJ.
AJ: Do you want a desert or are you too full? I mean we could split one if you want?
AJ waited as the Blond Bombshell pondered his question.

Amanda looked at him as cutely as she could.
Amanda: Luv, I'm dead serious. And yes a Karoke bar is a must. Can't sing if you don't 'ave the music. And as far as dessert goes... I think sharing one would probably be the best idea. Chocolate chip cheesecake ok?
She looked at him and smiled. Aj nodded and started to reached for the buzzer again. This time she caught his hand and held it while she pressed it. She ordered the dessert and then brought both of their hands to the table. She held it while they waited and then she asked him something that probably embarassed her more than it did him.
Amanda: So... Be 'onest with me 'ow many girls do you 'ave lined up?
As soon as she finished the inquiry she thought about what she said. She blushed and quickly covered her face. She coudn't believe she asked him that, but she peeked through her fingers as she waited for his answer.
TBC: scally (Ha ha fun question)

AJ looked at Amanda weirdly; he was taken a back but the question. The Aussie scratched his head while trying to think of answer. He wasn’t sure what she meant, but he assumed girls he wanted to ask out.
AJ: Look to be honest here, I am assuming you mean girls I would like to go out with, and to be honest none. Well that was until after the bar.
Amanda pulled her hands apart and looked up. AJ took a deep breath; he told Jade he had a crush on Amanda but nobody else. Amanda looked on, maybe thinking he was talking about someone he met after she left.
AJ: Amanda, I think I…ummm…hmmm…heh… (Deep breath) like you.
AJ looked down; maybe because he thought he ruined the evening. He just waited and hoped he didn’t, but she asked the question and he had to say it.

She tilted her head a little, shocked he said that, but not overly suprised. It wasn't that she disliked or liked hearing what he said. She just knew someone would find a way to mess it up. She tapped her fingers on the table.
Amanda: Aj... I... I... I like you too.
She smiled a little. She was telling the truth, she did like him, but at the same time again she knew Pavor would find a way to get to her or him.
Amanda: But right now we both got matches at Dawn of Destruction. Mine is against Jade and Alexandria. Your's is against my Pro and his lap dogs. You want to talk about a conflict of interest.
TBC: Scally
